What errors do you get? For instance what happens when you ping hosts on
your network? Provide as much info as you can. Maybe someone else would
be able to provide some help.

Just a shot in the dark. Maybe your problem isn't source related. Try
troubleshooting your network connection. See if the network card is up
and running. Check if IPs are being assigned (ifconfig). Maybe there's a
slight error in /etc/rc.conf. If you can ping localhost then you should
also be able to ping NIC's IP. Maybe your firewall isn't playing nice.

Those were just random thoughts.



Regards,
Mikhail.
